Abstract

A process of regenerating a magnesium-thorium alloy contaminated with fission products, protactinium, and uranium is presented. A molten mixture of KCl--LiCl-MgCl/sub 2/ is added to the molten alloy whereby the alkali, alkaline parth, and rare earth fission products (including yttrium) and some of the thorium and uranium are chlorinated and

EXTRACTION OF THORIUM FROM THORIUM CHLORIDE AND PRODUCTION OF MAGNESIUM- THORIUM ALLOYS

Patent Pitts, F.

A process is outlined for producing a Mg-Th hardener alloy. The process comprises forming a fused mixture of Th chloride and an alkali metal or alkaline- earth metal chloride, treating the fused mixture with an excess of Mg, and separating the resulting Mg- Th alloy from the melt. CaF/sub 2/ may be added to the separated alloy to convert the residual chlorides to a dense solid mass. (D.L.C.)
METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THORIUM CONTAINING MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

Patent Reding, J.N. Jr.
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF ROLLED ARTICLES FROM THORIUM-CONTAINING MAGNESIUM ALLOYS

Patent

The heat treatment at temperatures above 370 un. Concent 85% C of MgTh alloys (Th st run. Concent 0.5 to 3 wt%) in preparation for hot rolling of sheet, usually results in a roll pickup which is insoluble in acetic acid-sodium nitrate pickle and other acid pickles. The problem can be solved by carrying out the heat treatment in an atmosphere containing at least 10 vol% water vapor, preferably 20 vol%. Several examples of this solution are given. (D.L.C.)

IMPROVEMENT IN DECONTAMINATION OF AQUEOUS ACIDIC SOLUTIONS CONTAINING PLUTONIUM AND FISSION PRODUCT VALUES BY PROVIDING CEROUS AND/OR MERCURIC IONS THEREIN PRIOR TO A BISMUTH PHOSPHATE CARRIER PRECIPITATION

Patent Faris, B.F.; Strassel, H.K.

A bismuth phosphate carrier precipitation process is patented for separating plutonium from fission products. Purification of plutonium is accomplished by precipitating bismuth phosphate in the presence of quadrivalent plutonium, thereby carrying plutonium from soluble fission products, and in another step precipitating bismuth phos phate in the presence of hexavalent plutonium, thereby carrying insoluble fission products from plutonium. Cerous ions are added to the solution containing Pu>s4/sup > /d mercuric ions are added to the solution containing Pu>s6/sup > /ior to precipitation thereby enhancing the separation.
